Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 3340. Giampietro, R. Feb. 9. Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, arrangement and construction of.-An aerial machine is provided with two oppositely-curved supporting- surfaces 1, l' which ensure lateral equilibrium, and elevators gravitationally and manually controlled for maintaining longitudinal equilibrium. Further, oppositelymoving planes are used to check descent. The planes 1, 1<1> are hinged at their outer ends at 35, and by detaching screw couplings 38 the ends may be turned down to reduce the size of the machine. Stopping way. - At each end of the main planes 1, 1<1> are hinged tips 3, normally held in line with the main planes by springs 6. To check descent these tips may be swung towards each other as shown by dotted lines, Fig. 1, through the cords 4 connected to the pedal 5. Steering and balancing.-To a fixed plane 9 the elevator 10 is pivoted, and is kept in its normal position by springs &c. 11<1>. The elevator may be operated manually or automatically through the sliding-seat 16, Fig. 4. The seat is connected through a cord 21 with the rocking- lever 22 which controls the elevator. When the seat moves forward under gravity, the elevator is operated so as to raise the front end of the machine. To put the automatic control out of action, the part 20 to which the cord 21 is attached is raised so that the end 19 rests in a slot 23 in the seat, which can thus move forward without pulling on the cord 21. In a modification, shown in Fig. 5, two rudders 26 pivoted in apertures in a rear triangular plane are operated through a pendulum 31 when the front end of the machine dips. Abutments 28, 29 limit the pivotal movement, and the rudders are restored to their normal position by a lever 34 and cord 32.

Granted: 1912-10-14
Abstract: 20,322. Ward, A., and Gent, A. S. Sept. 13. Lasting.-The heads of a bed-lasting-machine are mounted on slides c, d, which are pivoted, the toe head slide c directly, and the heel head slide through link plates g, to the machine frame at a point e, which approximately coincides with the position of the ' joint ' of the last. The slides are connected by links h to bell-crank levers i, the other arms of which are slotted to permit the adjustment of pins on rods j, which are slotted to slide over a pin fixed to the frame of the machine. The rods are provided with scroll teeth v, which engage a spiral cam wheel mounted on the guide pin and operated bv hand. The rotation of the wheel rocks the levers i about the pivots and adjusts the angular position of the slides c, d simultaneously. Independent adjustment is obtained by altering the position of the pins in the slots of the levers i. To adjust the heel slide for lasts of different ' drop,' the link plates g are arranged to be turned about the pivot e by a screw t operated by a hand-wheel.

Title: Improved Method of Extracting Carbonic Acid from the Exhaust Gases of a Gas Engine.
IPC: F01N5/00
Filed: 1911-10-25
Granted: 1912-10-25
Abstract: 23,592. Maschinenfabrik S³rth Ges., and Volland, E. Oct. 25. Separating gaseous mixtures by liquefaction. -In a method of obtaining liquid carbonic acidfrom the exhaust gases of a gas-engine, the engine is adjusted so that it develops just sufficient power to enable all the liquid car bonic acid practicable to be extracted in the usual way by compression followed by cooling in an interchanger traversed by the expanded non-liquelied constituents of the exhaust gases. In the installation shown, gases from a generator 1 pass to an engine 5 by way of a scrubber and cooler 2, purifier 3, and collector 4. The exhaust gases, after passing through a scrubber 6 and purifier 7, are compressed in a three-stage pump 8 driven by the engine, and the carbonic acid liquefied in the interchanger 9 traversed by the non-liquefied constituents after expansion in a motor 10 which assists in driving the compressor. The liquid is discharged into storage bottles. In carrying the invention into effect, the approximate percentage of carbonic acid in the exhaust gases being assumed, the pump is adjusted so as to develop the requisite final pressure, found by calculation, such that a minimum amount of work is required of the motor per unit weight of liquid carbonic acid to be obtained. The gasengine is then adjusted, by varying the quantity and quality of the combustible mixture, the point of ignition, and the pressure of exhaust gases, until by the continual use of reagents it is found that all the carbonic acid practicable is liquefied at the time that the full power of the motor is imparted to the compressor.

Granted: 1912-08-29
Abstract: 25,523. Hill, E., Holmes, G. P., and Holmes, J. F. Nov. 16. Dobbies.-Special means controlled from the box motion are used for placing two lag barrels a, b, Fig. 2, in operative position alternately, while a third constantly-operating lag barrel is also employed. The barrels a, b are carried by a lever c, Figs. 1 and 2, connected by a link c' to a lever n provided with a bowl n<1>, which is situated over a pattern chain comprising ordinary links m<1> and cam links m passing round a chainwheel e on a shaft d provided with a two-winged boss f. One arm k<1> of a lever k carried by a stud on the driving-lever h is connected by a string l &c. to a lever on the box motion, so that, if a peg occurs in the box motion, the arm k<1> is depressed and a lower catch k<3> on the lever k is raised into position to engage the boss f and thus turn the shaft d in one direction, while otherwise an upper catch k<2> on the lever k remains in position to engage the boss and turn the shaft in the opposite direction. If a cam-link m comes into position below the roller n<1>, the arm is raised and the lever c is rocked to place the barrel b in action; otherwise the barrel a remains in action. The lever c is locked in the position wherein the barrel a is operative by the engagement of a locking- lever s with a lug n<2> on the lever n. When, however, the catch k<2> is raised, it engages a lever t on the same shaft as the lever s, which is thereby moved away from the lug n<2>. The barrels a, b are rotated by push catches, a fixed inclined part being so arranged as to place the driving-catch of the barrel a out of action when the barrel b is raised into action, and vice versa. The barrel a acts on feelers a<1>, which operate feelers b<1>, while the barrel b acts directly on the feelers b<1>. The barrel w is constantly rotated by a push-catch and operates feelers w<1> linked to the feelers b<1>. A three-winged tappet u, Fig. 4, may be substituted for the chain m, m<1>, Fig. 2. A steadying-spring is arranged in connexion with a star-wheel on the shaft d, Fig. 1, and a spring y<1> is arranged to act on a wheel y on the barrel w.
